Prohibited Command: Difference between revisions

'''Prohibited Command'''<ref>''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' digital manual, page 9</ref> is a status ailment in most [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] games.

[[File:NoskillsSMRPG.png|thumb|Bowyer disables the Attack command.]]

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', after [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] join [[Geno]] while he is fighting [[Bowyer]], Bowyer will retort that a three-on-one fight is unfair. To compensate for this, the {{button|snes|Y}}, {{button|snes|X}} and {{button|snes|A}} buttons will appear in front of him. Bowyer will then fire an [[Aero]] at one of the buttons, which will effectively lock the ability to use that button's commands (magic, [[item]]s or attacks). Only one button can ever be locked at once, although Bowyer will continually fire Aeroes at the buttons every few turns until he is defeated. His [[Machine Made]] counterpart does this as well.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', this effect is inflicted by [[Tech Cursya]]s. When affected by it, the Heroes of Light cannot use their special abilities for a period of time. [[Mario]] loses the ability to [[flip]], [[Luigi]] loses his [[Super jump (Super Paper Mario)|super jump]], Bowser is unable to [[Fire Breath|breathe fire]], and [[Princess Peach]] loses her [[Peach's Parasol|parasol]] abilities. If [[Mario]] gets this ailment while already in 3D, he will be stuck in 3D until the ailment wears off, the timer runs out, or the player switches characters.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', the only time this effect occurs is in [[Rustle Burrow]], where Mario is unable to use his hammer after losing it here. He is also unable to use any of the hammer [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|stickers]] he has in his [[album]]. Due to the loss of [[Kersti]], the Battle Spinner and Paperize are unavailable as well, which also occurs when she is eaten by [[Petey Piranha]] in [[Rumble Volcano]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the [[Boo]]s in [[Bowser's Castle]] can steal [[Command Block|command block]]s with their attacks, stopping the brothers from using them. During the last two boss fights with [[Popple]], he can steal one of the Bros.' hammers, preventing them from using any attacks involving their hammers. In the [[Prima Games]] guide for ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Prohibited Command is listed as four different effects: '''Jump X''', '''Hammer X''', '''Hand X''', and '''Item X'''.<ref>Stratton, Stephen, and Levi Buchanan. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 17.</ref>

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Mario battles [[Thunder Sass]] while only being allowed the Item Command Block. Also, during the battle against [[Bowser Jr.]] in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]], using a [[Bros. Attack]] will make Bowser Jr. steal it, disabling it until the bros get it back.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', when first exploring the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], a group of [[Hammer Bro]]s [[Stuff Retrieval|steal the bros' Command Blocks]], and they must be battled in order to recover the stolen Command Blocks. [[Paper Kamek|The]] [[Kamek]]s will also disable whichever Command Block has been most-used by each bro during their battle (e.g. if Mario mostly used Jump, Luigi mostly used Bros. Attacks and Paper Mario mostly used items, those Command Blocks are disabled for them for a few turns).
